anyone been to these shows who also went to the December "obscure set" shows? how do they compare? just interested cos I ain't gonna make this tour, but personally thought that last tour was the best set and show I've ever seen from G

I went to the Glasgow shows in December and also last night. Both amazing from my point of view, although I thing the band have settled in a bit (if that's possible). To me last night they seemed brighter and having even more fun. I think its great Ginger doesn't have to play all the Wildhearts standards because even though those are great being a regular Ginger gig goer it's good to have something different to fit with his standard of huge back catalogue. They played a few of SG5 and a few of the new tunes and a few Wildhearts ones.

Would loved some Valor / Yoni / MH stuff but that's me being picky and I think with the enormous quantity of tunes you could always say something similar. 'twas a great night and great gig.

That setlist looks pretty awesome, better than the Dec shows in my view. I've never heard Channel Bop live. I wouldn't have chosen Confusion or Very Very Slow or even Taste Aversion from 555 though, but overall this is a top set.

Or you make some kind of robot to get us help, or a homing device, or build a new battery..

Totally agree.Really enjoyed last nights gig.Certainly lifted the shit mood the general public had put me in at work in the afternoon.

Wasn't a fan of Baby Godzilla(too heavy for my liking) but The Guns were fuckin superb.Bought one of their albums and i'm having a listen to it now

The 555% stuff was superb live.Hopefully we'll get a few more gigs of that stuff at some point.Be even better when the whole crowd knows all of the songs.
